Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of fabricating a variable focus lens and to the variable focus lens so constructed.
- variable focus lens in which one or more transparent flexible membranes are tensioned to define a cavity therebetween in which a transparent fluid is received. Adjustment of the pressure and/or volume of the fluid in the cavity causes variations in the shape of the membranes, and the structure defines a lens of variable focal length.
- the present invention seeks to provide a new method of fabricating a variable focus lens and to provide a new structure for such a lens.
- a method of fabricating a variable focus lens comprising the steps of interengaging first and second rings to engage a first transparent, flexible membrane and to retain said first flexible membrane across the first ring, interengaging a third ring with said first and second rings to engage a second transparent, flexible membrane and to retain said second flexible membrane across the first ring, whereby the first and second flexible membranes define a cavity therebetween, and holding said first, second and third rings together such that said first and second flexible membranes are each tensioned across said first ring.
- a method of an embodiment of the invention enables a variable focus lens to be assembled quickly and easily.
- a transparent fluid is to be sealed within the cavity defined between the two flexible membranes.
- a duct is provided through said rings, which duct is in communication with said cavity.
- the duct may be formed from pre-formed bores in said first, second and third rings. However, in a preferred embodiment, said duct is drilled, or otherwise formed, through said rings.
- said first ring receives said second and third rings therein and defines the periphery of a peripheral, annular frame for the lens, which annular frame is defined by said first, second and third rings.
- This annular frame may readily be supported within lens apertures provided in spectacles, for example.
- peripheral shape of the peripheral annular frame and hence of the individual rings, may be chosen as is required.
- the annular frame may have a circular, oval, elliptical, or other closed curve, peripheral shape.
- Any method for holding the first, second and third rings together to retain the flexible membranes under tension may be used.
- the method further comprises turning, crimping or otherwise deforming the first ring so that the second and third rings are retained within said first ring.
- said annular frame may be retained within the frame of a pair of spectacles.
- the frame of the spectacles may act to hold the first, second and third rings together.
- any other retaining means may additionally and/or alternatively be provided to secure the first, second and third rings in their interengaged position.
- variable focus lens having a cavity containing a transparent fluid defined between first and second transparent, flexible membranes, wherein each of said first and second flexible membranes is tensioned across and held by a peripheral annular frame, and wherein said annular frame is formed from first, second and third interengaged rings, said first ring receiving the second and third rings therein and defining the periphery of said annular frame.
- a variable focus lens of an embodiment of the invention is simple and relatively inexpensive to assemble. Furthermore, the lens may be supported readily within the lens aperture in a pair of spectacles, for example.
- peripheral shape of the peripheral annular frame and hence of the individual rings, may be chosen as is required.
- the annular frame may have a circular, oval, elliptical, or other closed curve, peripheral shape.
- Any method for holding the first, second and third rings together to retain the flexible membranes under tension may be used.
- the annular frame is arranged to be retained within the frame of a pair of spectacles.
- the frame of the spectacles may act to hold the first, second and third rings together.
- any other retaining means may additionally and/or alternatively be provided to secure the first, second and third rings in their interengaged position.
- the interengagements between said rings cause the periphery of an appropriate flexible membrane to change direction more than once. This aids in sealing the periphery of the cavity.
- the lens from a single flexible membrane web appropriately arranged to define two flexible membranes.
- two separate flexible membranes are provided with the periphery of the first flexible membrane being held by the interengagement of the first and second rings, and the periphery of the second flexible membrane being held by the interengagement of the second and third rings. This provides a simple, yet effective sealed structure for the cavity.
- Each of said first and second membranes has a continuous periphery which is held by the respective rings so that it is bent to change direction more than once.
- each of two adjacent rings has a complementary annular step therein for interengaging the two rings, said interengaged steps also guiding an interposed flexible membrane around two direction changes.
- each of said first and second flexible membranes is of high grade Mylar.
- the first, second and third rings may be of any suitable material.
- each of the rings is of a material which is sufficiently rigid to positively interengage with the adjacent ring and to ensure that two interengaged rings can maintain the flexible membrane under tension.
- the material of the rings is also required to be lightweight to facilitate the incorporation of lenses of the invention in spectacles.
- the rings may be made, for example, of a high impact resistant plastics material, or of aluminium, or of titanium.
- the transparent fluid retained within the cavity may be any suitable fluid.
- the fluid is a silicone oil, for example, an oil of the silicone 703 type.
- the lens is additionally provided with two spaced, substantially parallel sheets of transparent polycarbonate between which the cavity defined by the flexible membranes is arranged.
- the polycarbonate sheets provide protection to the flexible membranes and are readily tinted, for example, if required.
- the annular frame may also be received between the polycarbonate sheets if required.
- Figure 1 shows an axial section of a portion of a variable focus lens of the invention during construction thereof
- Figure 2 shows a section similar to that of Figure 1 but showing the completed lens.
- the lens described and illustrated herein may be utilised in an optical apparatus constructed and arranged to be adjusted as described and claimed in international application No. WO 96/38744.
- the lens shown in Figure 2 comprises first and second transparent, flexible membranes 2 which are tensioned and which define therebetween a cavity 30 in which a transparent fluid 4, such as silicone oil, is contained.
- a transparent fluid 4 such as silicone oil
- the membranes 2 are of Mylar, for example, 23 ⁇ m Type D Mylar.
- the membranes 2 are held in tension by way of a peripheral annular frame 6.
- the frame 6 defines the periphery of the lens, and of the cavity 30, and is arranged to hold the flexible membranes 2 under tension.
- the frame 6 is also arranged to seal the lens.
- the annular frame 6 is formed by interengaging first, second and third rings 8, 10, 12 of aluminium.
- the first ring 8 has a radially extending flange 14 which is stepped as indicated at 16.
- the first ring 8 also has an axially extending rim 18.
- the second ring 10 has a radially outwardly projecting portion 20 defining a first step 22 which cooperates with the step 16 of the first ring 8 and a second step 24 which cooperates with a step 26 of the third ring 12.
- the third ring 12 has a recess 28 arranged radially outwardly therein.
- a first membrane 2 which is circular
- first membrane 2 which is circular
- first membrane 2 is positioned to extend within the first ring 8 such that its periphery extends along the radial flange 14 thereof.
- the second ring 10 is then supported within the first ring 8 such that the complementary steps 16 and 22 thereof interengage.
- This interengagement positions the second ring 10 relative to the first ring 8.
- the interengagement also bends the peripheral circumference of the first membrane 2 through two different directions as is clearly shown in Figure 1 .
- a second circular membrane 2 is then positioned across the first ring 8 such that its periphery extends along the upper radially extending surface of the second ring 10. Thereafter, the third ring 12 is positioned such that the steps 24 in position within the first ring 8, and to bend the periphery of the second membrane 2 through two directions.
- the tolerances of the three rings 8, 10, 12 are chosen such that even when the arrangement is in the interengaged position shown in Figure 1 , the two membranes 2 are firmly held by the interengaged rings.
- each circular membrane 2 can be cut to be generally circular and to have a diameter which is somewhat larger than is required. In its turn, each membrane 2 is positioned as described above and held by the interengagement of the corresponding ring 10, 12. Any excess material of the membrane 2 can then be trimmed simply using a knife with the rings 10, 12 acting as guides.
- the retention of the membranes 2 is achieved by crimping and deforming the first ring 8.
- the upstanding, axially extending, free end of the limb 18 of the first ring 8 is bent over to be received within the recess 28 of the third ring 12.
- a duct 34 is drilled through the frame 6 into the cavity 30.
- the cavity 30 can then be filled with the transparent fluid 4 through the duct 34.
- 703 silicone oil as the fluid the resultant lens achieves a focal length range of at least -6 to +10 dioptres, and the range -10 to +10 dioptres should be achievable.
- Fluid may be introduced into the cavity 30 by way of the duct 34 and retained therein by use, for example, of ducts, plugs and sealing means as described in International application No. WO 96/38744.
- the lens is pre-filled at this stage with the fluid 4 and an appropriate material is provided in the duct 34 to seal the cavity 30.
- the material sealing the duct 34 is preferably penetrable by a syringe, for example, so that the pressure of the fluid 4 within the cavity 30 can be adjusted.
- the two axially outer surfaces of the lens are each protected by a sheet 36 of a polycarbonate.
- Each polycarbonate sheet 36 may be about Vi millimetre thick. It will be appreciated that these sheets 36 are arranged to extend substantially parallel to each other.
- the circumferential periphery of each of the sheets 36 may be fixed to the annular frame 6 in any appropriate manner.
- the sheets 36 may be adhered to the frame 6.
